Plants or Rock Minerals?  Why does it matter?!?

We like to say that livestock and humans should eat plants and plants should eat rocks and dirt.  Why is this SO CRITICALLY important???!!!  When we keep things in that order bodies do well.   You see when a plant converts sunlight through photosynthesis it combines nutrients it uptakes from soil (broken down rocks & organic matter) with a carbon atom.   It is that carbon atom attached to that nutrient that makes it bioavailable.  That nutrient becomes fully utilizable by the body.  It's able to uptake it into cells, use it fully for it's intended purpose and it is fully able to eliminate any excess that it doesn't want to utilize.  This allows the ability to fully nourish the body and to not store toxic or structurally damaging excesses of copper, selenium, copper, fat soluble vitamins, etc.  Some of these excesses can and do build up to cause liver toxicity (which can lead to death), stones such as urinary calculi, kidney stones, enteroliths, gall stones (which form in the liver and are there as well), bone spurs, hardening of the pituitary gland or brain tissue, etc.

So how on earth do we and our beloved critters end up eating rocks?   Here are a few considerations.
Our wells and city waters are not soft water- they contain rock mineral particulate.  When we lived in southern Oregon I could actually SEE the particulate from our high calcium well whenever water was brewed for tea.  It also accumulated at the mouths of faucets etc.   There were no dandelions or alfalfa plants growing in our well to contribute to this.   The soils in that area contain high amounts of calcium.   

Store bought food and feeds that have minerals added or are 'fortified' have rock or synthetic sources added.   Read your label- if it doesn't say the magnesium is because whole alfalfa, stinging nettle or another plant is in the product then it's not from a plant!  It's from a rock or a formulated fake from a laboratory.   Why do companies do this?  Because it's much less expensive to mine and purchase rock nutrients than it is to use whole plants that contain the nutrients.  I can purchase a whole ten yard dump truck load of several tons of rocks or sand for the same price that some of the herbs that I work with cost me by the pound! Most calcium put into food and feeds in the US is mined limestone from the midwest.  Chemical or synthetic derived nutrients are cheap too and are derived from oil.  Kodak is or used to be one of the largest suppliers of nutrients for the food industry.  Scary or interesting.  I'm not sure which it is! 

We provide wonderful high quality WHOLE HERB nutrition for you, your human and pet family, just as God intended!
